Newbie here to 3D printing. I have Prusa i3 from Folgers Technologies (clear acrylic frame).
I want to try sending some gcode commands to my RAMPS 1.4 board to issue a G28 command to set new X Y Z 0 positions. But I can't seem to get a prompt when I connect. I start with $$ but get a dialog saying the RAMPS is not finished booting. I've waiting 5 mins but still can't issue any commands. I suspect I'm doing something wrong.
I'm using Universal Gcode Sender 2.0.
I have my end stops setup and working but each time I finish printing somethings the Y axis drives towards the end stop and hits it (it activates and I see the red end stop light come on) but the stepper continues to try to keep moving for about 2 more secs before finally stopping. So I'm thinking maybe I need to reset my zero axis references?
Thanks for any help...
